GARAGE DOOR OPENER PROBLEM!!

I have a Stanley Garage door Opener that is about 15 years old. All of a sudden now, it wont open. The unit is just making this TAPPING/CLICKING sound when I try to push the "OPEN" button. And the light that is on it is blicking to this tapping/clicking sound as well! But the chain drive won't move.

I took off the cover and the sound seems to be coming from the "MOTHER BOARD" on it. Like from one of the sockets attached to this mother board. Now I have another of the same next to it and this unit is opening the garage door just fine for now!

The only numbers I have are:

*****MODEL: 1800.37

*****1/3 HP

*****Serial #87121

Please help me as to what you think it might be and how I can go about fixing this situation?
